Timeless, and adaptable it's a colour look that is super flattering. Not only does it allow you to experiment with multiple colours at one time; it can be worn as subtle, or as dramatic as you like. And it's brilliant for stretching out your salon visits from six to 12 weeks.Traditionally dark roots to very light tips defines this trend. But this summer a more sophisticated ombré is emerging. For brunettes, warm, rich chocolate brown with a golden honey for the ends, or warm mocha paired with a cool coffee are so flattering. And for blondes, consider sandy hues at the roots and pale buttery or platinum blonde at the ends. The point is this summer keep the ombré so subtle it almost looks like a trick of the light.
